Swinney Farvie Syrah 2021 75cl

From Swinney, Farvie Syrah 2021 is a concentrated red wine made from fruit picked exclusively from the morning side of the vine rows, where ripening is slower and gentler than on fruit exposed to the afternoon sun. This 75cl Syrah opens with layered aromatics and a finely detailed structure that gives it both intensity and poise.

Whortleberry, aronia and purple grape lead the profile, followed by clove, star anise, stargazer lily, musk, leather and iron as it opens in the glass. In the mouth, it is refined, intense and concentrated, with soft succulence of texture and a delicate dusting of powdery tannin. Its harmony and structure make it compelling now, with the capacity to evolve over 15 years or longer.
